Wearable Vestiges (Brazil)

The performance was a work in progress that culminated in the total transformation of an installation.

After a team of 14 had spent six full days and 200,000 raw cotton hexagonal stamps covering every surface and object in the installation, on the last day of the performance, with the installation completely “dressed”, the public was asked to join the artist and his team in stripping the whole thing down, stamp by stamp, in a total undoing of everything that had gone before.

“The posting and removal of the hexagons can be defined, metaphorically, as an analogical digital resource, like pixels that reveal or disintegrate, creating new images, new layers. It’s human analogical interaction reproducing electronic language”.

Through the ongoing transformation of the space, Wearable Vestiges proposed a new take on the real.
